Geosketchpad
PICASO

Overview Students will use the geosketch pad program to come up with a design given certain guidelines.


Concepts
• Students will have a working understanding of geometric figures.
• Students will use the geosketch pad program to create a design.
• Students will use lines, line segments, circles, rays, acute angles,
obtuse angles, isosceles triangles, right triangles and scalene triangles.

Indicators
• Students will design and create a picture using geometric guidelines.

Precomputer
• Discuss, as a class, the usefulness of using geosketch pad.
• Demonstrate to the students how to set up sketch pad.
• Demonstrate to the students procedures for creating their design.

On the computer
• Students will load their disks in and then open Geosketch pad. They will
immediately save a file and name it m8design.
• Use the Tool Box and Menu to create design.


Postcomputer
• Students will label given guidelines on print out of design.
• Students will color design.
• Students will present their designs to class.
• Students designs will be displayed.
